BEGINNER SNOWBOARD MINI GROUP - 4 people - 3 days

Your Experience : Beginner, it is your first time snowboarding or you have just a couple of hours experience (or on dry slopes).

Goals of the week : Controlling speed with a heel edge or toe edge slide and be able to do linked turns on a green slope.

Week's program : You will be introduced to your instructor and the rest of the group. The instructor will then explain how the equipment works. You will do your first slides in a straight line in the beginner area. After you get familiar with your balance, you’ll learn how to change directions. At first you might fall so the instructor will also give you different tips on how to get up. During your progression you will discover which foot you have in front on the board (goofy or regular). Then we will start to learn how to control your speed on the back side edge. The instructor will then teach you how to cross the slope on the back and front side edge. Once you start getting comfortable with that you will learn how to control speed on your toe edge, the instructor will help you with the toe edge slide. We will then practice the transition between the toe and heel edge position to be able to link the turns. After you are able to ride down the slope doing heel & front-side turns you will be taught your first flat tricks like 180 slides.

Hours : Everyday from 12:00 to 14:00, during lunchtime.
More : During these hours the slopes are less occupied, allowing you to progress with serenity. Beginner Mini group lessons are limited to a maximum of 4 children. Everybody progresses at their own paces and you have the opportunity to change groups during the week. You can also enjoy some breaks and warm yourself up with a hot cocoa in our chalet on the slope.

Remarks : Don't forget your sunscreen for the sunny days!
